With more than 500,000 albums sold over a 15-year career, Sylvain Cossette was a considerable name in the French Canadian pop scene. Born in Quebec in May 1963, Cossette first appeared on the pop music radar with Quebec-based English-language band Paradox, founded in 1984. 1994 found Cossette leaving both English (for the most part) and a band setting behind, striking out on a French-language-based solo career. Many successful albums followed, and Cossette performed in stage musicals such as +Notre Dame de Paris and +Dracula in locations in Canada and Europe. 2007 found the multiple Felix Music Award winner releasing his first all-English-language album, 70's. The album debuted at number one in Quebec and number two on the Canadian charts. It also scored well on English charts, easily becoming the fastest-selling album of his career. He saw in the 2007-2008 changeover with a supporting tour, hitting locations in a number of cities in Quebec. ~ Chris True, Rovi
